I can’t put a number on how many times I’ve heard Tim talk about his gear, approach, set up,reasoning, etc. It will absolutely never get old. His skill and touch are one thing but his joy and devotion to music are what brings me back. Such a legend.

TIM PIERCE, such an amazing, polished, intricate player! Yet to watch the ease to which he bonds with any guitar he is playing, is so relaxed. Like he’s sitting on a couch having a cup of coffee. He looks so laid back, and really enjoying his craft. He makes this look so easy, but we all know how painstakingly hard it truly is to accomplish. He has his own tone, but can mimic and match the best guitar gods out there, effortlessly! Love to see a segment of TIM, and JOHN, jamming together! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎸⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Imoho John uses his excellent interviewing skills to guide rig rundowns and asks questions to help artists provide their pertinent gear info. He’s great at asking the right stuff, then pretty much staying out of the way while they answer. With Tim most of this isn’t necessary. Tim’s a master communicator who’s been refining things through hundreds of videos over the years….and he’s demoed his guitars and cockpit many times on his own and other channels .This seems like it was an easy one for John, he could just let Tim go and enjoy the music and the info. Two pros doing their thing.

Tim is right on the money on everything: 1) Guitars are tools of the trade: they're better with modern improvements but without leaving the aesthetics aside (vintage vibe or whatever works for you) 2) Amps, speakers and pedals complementing each other 3) Setting the environment up so one can focus on creativity and not connecting/disconnecting, setting up, etc. thanks for this rig rundown, Tim is a player but also a guitar gear expert, which makes it more interesting.
